Demand Response Programs in the United States

Hayet Power Systems Consulting
Projected completed in April 2008.

Synapse was hired to write a report on selected demand response programs operated by Regional Transmission Organizations (RTO) in the United States. The report looked at market rules, FERC assessments, and RTO-specific sources to evaluate the operational aspects of the programs and the benefits stakeholders receive. The report included a more comprehensive section on demand response programs in New England. Realizing that many demand response programs are in transition around the country, the report was meant to provide a snapshot of practices at the time the research took place.
